I thought you were a nutritionist, not a bus boy?

I'm a retired woman, not a boy, and I was traveling and got stranded in a one-restaurant-town for a minute. They hired me as bartender because they declared I was attractive and good for drawing in customers 🤷🏻‍♀️

How did you become a nutritionist?

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

"Nutritionist" isn't a protected term. Anyone can call themselves one. I am also a nutritionist btw and I say you should eat a diet of exclusively mozza sticks.

I did not say I was a nutritionist. I said "my nutritionist brain." For a person to claim being a Nutritionist, they need a four-year Nutritionist degree

I am however CERTIFIED in nutrition. I took a shit-ton of college classes and earned a certificate in exercise physiology and nutrition.

I studied nutrition not only in school sitting at a desk, reading books, listening to lectures, doing projects, writing papers, and passing tests, but for 2 decades as a passion outside of school, I learned it, I loved it, and I live it.

Off the top of my head I can tell you which nutrients the human body needs (there are 27 micronutrients including vitamins and minerals like vitamin d, zinc, B12, calcium, etc.), WHICH FOODS HAVE THOSE NUTRIENTS IN THEM, and which foods are ideal for that purpose, vs which foods have little-to-no nutritional value therefore should be avoided if you want to feel your best. I can tell you how many calories a person needs to survive every day based on their varied levels of activity & their own unique body composition, I can tell you how many calories are in a gram of fat, how many calories are in a gram of protein, and how many calories are in a gram of carbohydrate, wherein fat, protein, and carbohydrate are the three macronutrients, and what the significance of all that is.

And if I tell you any more, you're going to have to pay me, because I'm still paying off my college loans $63,000 after learning & living & preaching all this shit.

I mean no offense - what's the difference between being certified in nutrition and being a nutritionist?

[-] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

a Nutritionist has a 4-year college degree in it, at least a bachelor's or a PhD.

being "Certified in nutrition," I went to a vocational school and got a vocational certificate.
